Car Fuel Saver - Where does this go in my 530i?

[EonPeon]

Hi,

I'm seriously considering buying one (or two) of those super fuel savers. They're basically incredibly strong magnets placed over the fuel line and they help to ionize the hydrocarbon molecules.

The result is a much cleaner burn, and improved fuel economy - up to 30%!

Amazingly, the British army fitted these to all their vehicles during the Second World War to get increased fuel economy. I've never understood why they've not really been seen around much since...

I found this one on eBay:-

Can anyone tell me:-

1) Has anyone else tried one on their BMW?
2) What was the result?
3) Where would I fit one on my 530i?

I'm going to track my fuel usage WITHOUT a fuel saver for the next month or so (my OBC gives me the fuel consumption numbers). Then I plan to fit TWO of these in-line (if someone would help me identify the best place to fit them - I'm not much of a mechanic!).

I'll report my findings back on here for all to see!

Who would like to know more?

Best regards,



Ian

Hi Ian,

I believe this has been discussed to death and the conclusion is that they don't work.
You're better off saving that $30 for an EAT chip.

I highly suspect that if these worked (even at .5%) then the auto manufacturers would have included them (low cost) because THEY need to meet Corp Avg Fuel Econ. in the states.

So you could tie them around your wrist where they would cure cancer? (na...) Or get the EAT chip if you want better drivability!!!!

1. Take the left eye of a newt
2. Take the ground hoof of a wildebeaste
3. Take three five day old toucan eggs
4. Mix the above together in a bowl until a creamy consistancy
5. Rub the mixture onto the back of your neck in an anti-clockwise direction while facing east and chanting..."iamanidiotforeventhinkingthisisgoingtowork"

When done check your mileage.

Sorry about that but that's what these 'Too good to be true' devices are.
This device is in the same league as the 'Energy Polarizer' that ended Peter Brock's relationship with GMH.

These fraudsters warp physics and chemistry in order to make their victims believe in anything from perpetual motion to time travel.

Save the money you would have wasted on this and buy yourself an EAT chip!

Exactly! My Grandfather used to have these on his '34 Ford Sedan and swore they made it get better mileage. They have been around that long, if it worked the manufactureres would already have them installed.

As you & Scott.C have stated; If something is that good why isn't it fitted to every vehicle on the road today?

Basically just read this...

...after which I suggest scanning the horizon for wildebeaste!

I installed mine in the trunk in the small plastic container on the right side.

Hmmm... I was kinda wondering how I'd fit a wildebeaste in my trunk?
Does it stink when it drops a poop?
Maybe you could capture the methane, compress it and use like nitrous for some extra HP.
Now there's a marketing idea!

Want a 30% increase in power & mileage?
Then you need Wildebeaste Poop!
Guaranteed and eco friendly... well almost!
Just $29.95 for a 10lb bag.
